The Adjutant

Let's Stay Like This.

Adela entered into one of the train cars, herself looking for a seat number where she would sit until at the city station where she was born.

Adela chose to sit in a chair close to the window, and at that time sat a man beside her wearing a mask and a black subdistrict.

Adela just kept quiet and kept staring at the window while enjoying the morning ride.

The man sat very close, to make Adela shift her body. Adela was also made uncomfortable.

"Sorry yes can not sit a little shifted, if it stays this way I will report you. " Say Adela firmly.

"Report it. " Speak her while opening her sunglasses and opening her mask.

"Sir Raiz. " Said Adela in shock and immediately turned her head to the right and to the left.

"Whose father? If the passengers in this carriage know it can make a fuss sir."

Raiz put back his sunglasses and his mask and sat back leisurely enjoying the ride inside the carriage.

"I'm alone, no one knows I'm gone. Just know I have a personal business." Raiz.

"Where is Raiz going? " Tanya Adela was a little slow because Adela did not want the person inside the train carriage to know who the man sitting next to her was now.

"I will accompany you. " Answer Raiz.

"meaning? " Said Adela.

"Do I not know what, you mean return you just want to say that if we're divorced, do you want after saying that you will return to forced marriage." Raiz.

"We can't keep lying Sir, because later also the marriage contract and divorce.this they'll know." Adela.

"You're ready to marry the man you love? " Task Raiz.

"The proof is, I don't love you but now I love you. Maybe I can love him later. " Answer Adela.

"You speak so only in front of me." Raiz.

"Sir Raiz shouldn't have to be like this, I'm not who - who is the Father. And our status is divorced." Adela.

"Our status is divorced, but if you know your story repeated again I am not willing. " Said Raiz.

Adela was just silent, and kept staring at the window looking at the expanse of rice fields along the way.

"Where's Mas Raiz? " Task Anita to Sony.

"I don't know, he just messages going out of town himself. " Answer Sony.

"Kok he didn't tell me anyway, I'll try to call him. " Said Anita.

Anita tries to contact Raiz, but is not picked up until Anita sends him a message but only read it.

"My message was read, but the phone wasn't picked up. " Said Anita annoyed.

"Maybe you're chatting or still on the street. " Say Sony.

"True you said anyway, how many days did he have? " Task Anita.

"Maybe 3 days. " Answer Sony.

"Great yes, went with Adela like a promise. " Said Anita.

"It's just a coincidence. " Say Sony.

"Yes yes, then I say yes. " Said Anita.

*****

"Other favorite daughter-in-law why not tell me first if you want to come here, if you tell me you will definitely prepare good cuisine. " Sukma's Mother.

"Because this is ma'am, we are forced to give you a surprise, no. want the house people to bother welcoming our arrival. " Said Raiz.

"But right, you're the Regent. Let people know who Mom's daughter-in-law is. " Sukma's Mother.

"Mas Raiz what's he bringing? " Task Mia.

"Sorry yes Mas did not bring by - by, run out Mas busy. " Answer Raiz.

"But the money, right? " Task Mia.

"Bring if it is. " Answer Raiz.

"Miss.. Mia, it can't be. " Tegur Pak Syarif.

"Not what, sir. "

"Tuh, look at Mas Raiz is fine. Just dad lebay. "

Adela felt very annoyed and upset, then went into her room.

"That's why people, already know my family is troublesome and embarrassing still patiently face them. " Adela was resting her body on the bed but smiled a little considering she is now with Raiz.

"Why my heart is happy this way, another sin that I bear. We are no longer husband and wife but we are still husband and wife. "

****

"Mas, why are you still spending so much money on Mia and Mommy shopping. We are not husband and wife anymore. " Said Adela annoyed.

"What do you have, your mother's words have spread surely who I am and the fact that we have not become husband and wife. Your family will be ashamed. " Said Raiz.

"It is better to bear the shame of Mas, than this. Please don't stop me from being honest with them. I don't want it to backfire someday."

"I'm not willing, you'll be forcefully married like you used to be. I want you to marry by your choice and love each other.You should know, I do this because I love you."

"Stop say it's Mas, now we're different. Let each taste neatly stored in the heart. "

"I'm sorry it's like this."

*****

"Son Raiz, I ask that you never hurt his heart. Adela never felt happy. He never smiles when in front of us, Dad asks for happiness that he never got from us please give Adela happiness. "

"God willing Father, I will be happy Adela. May Adela and I be fooled until death do us part."

"We never knew how Adela was, her cries she never showed us. I'm sure she's crying, Dad's hurt her a lot. "

"Adela never said she hated Dad, only Adela said she couldn't be happy. " Raiz said convincing Mr. Syarif.

"Adela has sacrificed a lot, I'm honestly happy when her marriage with the manager Marwan is canceled and finally married to you."

****

"Where are you going? I waited for Mas to reply to all my chats. " Say Anita from across.

"I'm sorry I was busy, sorry if you just now give me the news. "Speak Raiz.

" When will you be home? "

"Lusa or tomorrow Mas will go home. "

"Part yourself, take care of your heart. "

" Yes baby, it's been Yes Mas want to rest. "

" I love you. "

" I Love you too. "

"Ekhem. " Said Adela into her room.

"You eavesdropping? " Said Raiz.

"Well, people listen, thankfully no one heard other than me. "

"You want to sleep ? "

"Yes." Yeah."

"Sleep, I'll sleep downstairs. There's a mat, right? " Said Raiz.

"Some, I'll take it. "

"Thank you."
